After reading all the replies in my previous “oldest tin” thread, I suddenly remembered something from my military service back in 1988.

We once got extremely old emergency sardine tins from military reserves. If I remember correctly, the production year stamped on them was 1958.

So those tins were already around 30 years old when we ate them.

The funny part? I still remember them tasting surprisingly good 😄

Maybe nostalgia plays a role, but that memory stayed with me for decades.

Has anyone else here ever eaten military reserve tins that old?

I recently opened a trout tin from 2016 and it got me curious how far people here have actually gone with aging tins.

What’s the oldest one you’ve personally tried?

Pozdrav ljudi,

Zanima me kakva su vam skorija iskustva sa slanjem paketa iz Srbije ka USA i zemljama Evrope?

Posebno me interesuje:

Koju službu koristite? (Pošta Srbije, DHL, UPS, FedEx, Österreichische Post iz Beča itd.)

Koliko realno traje dostava?

Da li je bilo problema sa carinom ili vraćanjem paketa?

Koliko su strogi za hranu / konzerve / prehrambene proizvode?

Da li se više isplati slati direktno iz Srbije ili iz EU (npr. Austrije)?

Kakva su iskustva sa tracking-om i pouzdanošću?

Planiram slanje manjih paketa do 2 kg, pa bi mi značila svaka informacija iz prve ruke.

Hvala unapred!

Hey everyone, I've been quietly building a tinned fish reference site and would love any feedback.

alltinned.com - about 4,000 products across 500+ brands, 98 retailers, and 115 fish types, all updated daily. Brands, regions, guides, and a media page that pulls in what the community is talking about.

Still in the works: price tracking across retailers, full price history, deal detection, and stock alerts for the things that are always sold out before you hear about them.

If you find any bugs or errors, please let me know! 

There's also a report link on every page for any missing brands, wrong species classifications, or retailers I should add, all of it is useful!

I appreciate it.

I’ve been getting more into tinned fish lately, mostly the usual stuff.

Recently I came across a trout tin from 2016 that was apparently made to age in the can.

I finally opened it and it was really different from what I expected. The texture was much softer, almost dense compared to normal tins.

Not bad at all, just kind of unexpected.

Has anyone else tried something aged this long?
